"I voted against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) between the European Union and its Member States, Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Mexican States, the Kingdom of Morocco, New Zealand, the Republic of Singapore, the Swiss Confederation and the United States of America. The EU is firmly committed in the fight against counterfeiting and has one of the must up-to-date legislations, fully in line with the specific international agreements in the area of protection of intellectual property and copyright in the information society. However, the ACTA text contains provisions which may lead to interpretations possibly resulting in the violation of some of European citizens’ fundamental rights. This is why we cannot vote for ACTA in its current form. Rejecting ACTA does not signify that the EU is weakening in its commitment either to protecting intellectual property or to combating counterfeiting. In rejecting ACTA, Parliament is stressing that any possible future global anti-counterfeiting agreement signed by the EU must guarantee respect for European citizens’ fundamental rights. We hope that, if the Commission is going to table in the future a new text for such an agreement, Parliament will be consulted prior to signing the agreement, and that the final text will also include the amendment proposals tabled by Parliament."@en1
